Got a facial recently, and the woman recommended that do a honey mask, as well as a charcoal mask; each once a week. I have a charcoal wash that I think will work.. But what/how do I do the honey?🐝

Hey, Mg! There are LOTS of do-it-yourself masks that are GREAT and made with ordinary pantry items! For a honey mask, here's one recipe:

1 tablespoon of raw honey. (Manuka or another high-pollen honey is best. Bee pollen is very high in antioxidants and vitamins, many of which are easily absorbed via your dermis.)

3-5 drops of fresh lemon juice.

1 tablespoon ultra-fine baking sugar, or brown sugar. The crystals in fine or brown sugar aren’t nearly as "sharp" as those of regular table sugar or turbinado.)

Instructions

Mix all of the ingredients and apply them lovingly to your face. Gently massage the mixture for about a minute and then leave it on for at least five. Rinse and moisturize. :-)

DO A PATCH TEST WITH THE HONEY. Honey can cause irritation to the skin even if you're not allergic to honey or bees so do a small patch test before you just smear honey all over your face. If she told you to use a charcoal MASK then get a mask rather than a face wash. I highly suggest the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask.

I would definitely suggest spot testing the honey, sometimes it may be irritating :)

Thank you, ok, I'll do a patch test to be sure ❤️
